Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

He does whatever he wants, has an unpredictable personality, and is a ruthless person.

After the song was over, Xia Bai already felt that there were many more villains in his mind, and he had the answer in his heart. It turned out that RX-07 was not a scam, but the function of the product was a little bit wrong.

Then he confidently said to Nagato: "How is my song? Is it okay?"

There was no trace of embarrassment in his words, as if the person who had just threatened Nagato was not him.

Although Nagato felt Xia Bai's good intentions and understood that he wanted to repair their relationship, he was not a good liar after all.

The Sakura Empire was somewhat good at playing wind music, and most of the ship girls would play it whenever they had time. Of course, Nagato also knew a few tricks, so she said sincerely, "Your song has some shadows of Shokaku, but the imitation is too obvious, so it's just average."

"..."

Mikasa felt that it was time to teach Nagato privately how to speak. Even if he was a bad braggart, you had to praise him to the sky in order to ease the relationship. What an idiot.

High EQ, good; low EQ, average.

Fortunately, Xia Bai doesn't care about these false reputations. He knows his own playing skills very well, and false flattery will make him feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, Shokaku praised me for my good flute skills...By the way, Nagato, do you want to try it?"

After wiping the saliva off the 'whistle', Xia Bai shamelessly handed it to Nagato who was sitting in the main seat. Being a petty person, he couldn't afford to make a fool of himself. If Nagato was giving advice like this, he had to make a fool of himself once.

Chapter 55 Arriving

Nagato naturally had no idea of ​​Xia Bai's evil intentions. The stupid and foolish chief flagship wanted to resolve the embarrassment just now, so he took the "whistle".

He didn't care that Xia Bai had just played it. After trying for a while to figure out how to make it sound, he put it to his lips and started playing.

As soon as the first note sounded, Xia Bai knew that Nagato was indeed better at playing the instrument than he was. Before he could quietly appreciate it, he felt inexplicably palpitating.

His mental power seemed to begin to integrate the Q-version figures of the Sakura Empire in his mind under Nagato's playing, and they quickly gathered together. They raised their hands and emitted a light green light.

The light began to gather and swirl around the RX-02 in his mind, gradually dyeing the mecha black.

But Xia Bai had a splitting headache at this time, his face was pale, he covered his head in pain and let out a hoarse roar. His mental strength was almost drained.

"Stop! Stop now, meow!"

Just as everyone was listening to Nagato's performance, Akashi rushed in with a white cloth wrapped around his head, climbed onto the chopping board, and waved his hands.

Nagato stopped playing and put down his whistle due to her sudden intrusion, and said in confusion: "Akashi Ru is here... What happened? You're so anxious."

However, Akashi ignored Nagato and ran over to Xia Bai, his face full of worry.

"Are you okay, meow? Do you need Akashi to help you?"

As she said this, Akashi took out a wrench from her sleeve, as if as long as Xia Bai nodded, she would hit him on the head.

"...No need for that. Sure enough, 07's stuff is still unreliable."

He weakly rejected Akashi's kindness, and the shrine maidens behind him immediately brought him a cup of water. They were terrified by what happened just now.

"Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise I would have been nearly killed by Nagato."

Sitting in the main seat, Nagato felt a little wronged after hearing this, and swallowed back his worried words, thinking, didn't you ask me to blow it? How come it's my fault again?

When Akagi heard this, she immediately wanted to go up and "argue" with Nagato, but was stopped by Kaga again. After all, she had established a mental link with Xia Bai and had successfully performed Tsukuyomi, so she knew many details better than Akagi.

When Nagato played, Kaga found that her mental power was constantly being drawn. Not only her, but the mental power of everyone present was drawn into the body of RX-02, and then some changes occurred.

But Kaga didn't know the exact situation, but it definitely had nothing to do with Nagato.

"No hurry, the commander knows his limits... This has nothing to do with Nagato."

"I have the Ring of Oath and have established a mental link with the Commander. What I saw is the same as what you saw... Why do you look so strange?"

This was more than just strange. Akagi's charming face was now twisted into a ball. It was bad enough that her mental connection had not been established, but why were these guys using the Ring of Oath to irritate her?

If Kaga wasn't the only person Akagi wasn't jealous of, she really wanted to burn his nine big tails with fire.

He immediately snorted coldly, crossed his shoulders and ignored Kaga, sulking alone.

Kaga: “?”

..........

Back to Xia Bai, after hearing what Mingshi told him, he already understood why the other party suddenly appeared at the critical moment.

In fact, Akashi had already woken up this afternoon, but she did not intend to settle the score with Xia Bai immediately, but continued to pretend to be unconscious.

On the one hand, he wanted Xia Bai to feel guilty about himself so that he would give him a higher price for the order, and on the other hand, he wanted to take a break and have a good rest for a few days.

Unexpectedly, when she was slacking off, Shokaku brought Ron to the infirmary. Since they had been discovered, Akashi stopped pretending and started to play the victim to the two of them.

He talked about how hard he had worked and how much he tried, trying to get Shokaku to persuade Xia Bai, and he didn't stop until Xia Bai sent Shokaku a message.

Upon learning that Nagato had returned and was hosting a banquet in the castle tower, Akashi wanted to attend the banquet leisurely, but halfway through, he discovered that the energy receiver he placed on the RX-02 kept sounding an alarm.

With great shock in his heart, Akashi quickened his pace and hurried over.

As soon as he entered the room, he found Nagato holding the "mental conduction device" that Xia Bai had shown him and playing it. Xia Bai had a painful look on his face and interrupted Nagato.

I have to say, the timing was just right and it happened to save Xia Bai's life.

"So you installed an energy monitor on the RX-02?"

"Yeah, I haven't even taken the stuff down yet, and Xia Bai has taken the RX-02 back... I can't blame Akashi for that, meow."

Xia Bai smiled, waved his hand and said gently: "It's not your fault...you don't have to take the things down, just continue to install them." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Nagato who had an innocent look on his face.

"What I just said was pure nonsense. It has nothing to do with you, Nagato. Don't blame yourself."

These words made Nagato feel better. She thought she had accidentally done something bad again. If that was true, she should consider abdicating and letting others take over.

With a dry mouth, Chang Men returned the 'whistle' to Xia Bai: "Here, I will never use this thing again."

For some reason, she always felt that Xia Bai was her nemesis, and nothing good would happen whenever she saw him.

"Actually, Nagato's musical skills are pretty impressive. At least much better than mine."

Speaking politely, Xia Bai took the 'whistle' and threw it to Akashi. His eyes became serious, and he stood up from the futon and looked around.

"It just so happens that Akashi is here, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Before that, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Bai, I belong to the Son of Prometheus, and my model number is RX-02."

"Perhaps some people will feel uncomfortable with my identity, because the Son of Prometheus was made from the remains of your companions."

"But after all, I am a distinguished guest 'invited' by your Sakura Empire, so no matter how much you hate me or how unhappy you are with me, you have to endure it."

After introducing himself in a very annoying way, Xia Bai also paid special attention to the expressions of the ship girls around him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. I've heard that the Sakura Empire's shipgirls are all outstanding women. Today I see that they are indeed extraordinary..."

Before he could finish his words, a wine glass came towards him with the force of breaking through the air. Xia Bai quickly caught the cup, glaring at it, wanting to see who dared to interrupt him, but he heard Zuikaku's impatient voice instead.

"Commander, are you done yet? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's get to the point."

It would be fine if it was an outsider, but Zuikaku is his sister-in-law and a ship girl. He would already be feeling sorry for her so how could he get angry?

Seeing that Ruihe was about to throw something, Xia Bai stopped pretending, gave her a wry smile, and prepared to continue the next topic.

At this time, Taiho, Shokaku and others also arrived at the venue one after another, and the Sakura Empire was almost assembled.

Chapter 56: Classic Good and Bad News

Winking at Xianghe who was late, Xia Bai waved to Sheffield behind her.

Both of them were smart people and naturally understood what Xia Bai meant in an instant. One went to Zuikaku's side, and the other came behind him without changing his expression and sat with the Miko sisters.

The maid didn't ask what was going on with the pair of witches. Instead, she leaned over and whispered in Xia Bai's ear, "Master, Xianghe asked me to tell you that Feng Xiang can't come."

"I know she can't come. She has to take care of the Purifiers... Have you notified Taiho?"

What he was about to say was extremely important, and he had to ensure that as many Sakura Empire ship girls as possible were present.

"Dafeng?" Sheffield patted Xia Bai's shoulder and said coldly, "If the master is referring to that exhibitionist, she seems to have arrived before us."

"That's right~ Wherever the commander is, Taiho is there too."

"Hehe...Da Feng will always keep an eye on you."

Listening to the moist and charming voice in his ears, Xia Bai's hair stood on end. When did Dafeng sneak up behind him and how come he didn't notice it at all.

However, although Dafeng was a little bit stupid, she was generally sensible. She did not pounce on him and get into heat in such a serious occasion, otherwise Xia Bai would have been completely unable to face people.

"I feel Taiho's love... Next time, remember not to appear behind you quietly."

"Hate it~ Commander, Taiho will always follow you... Only by watching you can Taiho feel the meaning of her existence."

Such a frank and strangely loving speech made Xia Bai not know what to say for a moment. He could only wave his hand back, indicating that he understood and did not want to continue talking about it.

Now only Feng Xiang was not present due to special reasons. Xia Bai thought that she could not delay any longer, so she asked someone else to convey the message.

After clearing his throat, Xia Bai nodded to Akashi and asked, "Akashi, could you project the three-dimensional model of Qiangong, please?"

"Okay, meow, Xia Bai finally wants to tell everyone these things? Leave it to Mingshi, meow." Patting his chest, Mingshi took out a remote control.

Suddenly, a huge projection appeared, with various data listed in detail next to it.

"This thing is the Supreme and Humble, a combat weapon made by the Siren. It once fought against us in the territorial waters of the Sakura Empire... Don't doubt your eyes, the data next to it is real."

"I believe that those who participated in the battle at that time will give you the answer to this question."

Before he finished speaking, the ship girls visiting Donghuang began to discuss and asked the surrounding stationed ship girls to further confirm whether Qian Gong existed.

Nagato opened his mouth blankly, shocked by the humble attitude and data. If what Xia Bai said was true... this thing was 3784 meters high? And the energy contained in it was so huge.

"That's all for the basic introduction. Do you have any questions?"

After waiting for the ship girls to digest the information, Xia Bai smiled and entered the question-and-answer session. His purpose of coming here today was simple, he just wanted everyone to know who the real enemy was.

If possible, I would also like to discuss future policies and strategies, and whether my own position should be changed.

A good man needs three helpers, and with collective wisdom, a more reliable solution should be achieved.

"Please allow Tiancheng to take the liberty..." Tiancheng stood up from the futon, lowered his eyebrows, and said excitedly, "If this data is really used, how did Lord Xia Bai repel Qian Gong in the territorial waters of the Sakura Empire?"

"It's not that Tiancheng doubts the truthfulness of what Master Xia Bai said...it's just that the data is too exaggerated."

As the brain of Sakura Empire, Amagi naturally needs to understand the detailed process of the matter before he can analyze it properly. Xia Bai understands this.

So he patted Mingshi on the shoulder and said softly, "Well... this is exactly what I want to say next. Tiancheng, you asked a good question. Just watch the combat video and you will know."

The humble three-dimensional model immediately disappeared, replaced by the video projected by Akashi.

"This is the valuable video recorded by my mecha, RX-02. If you still have any questions after watching it, you can ask Akashi for it."

"The dark-skinned person who looks like a ship girl in the picture is Siren. She is an arbitrator of the Arbitration Agency and her name is Stelencus."

"In this battle, she is our ally and has put in a lot of effort. That's why I took in the Purifier..."

While playing the video, Xia Bai explained the situation on the scene in detail to everyone, as well as some of his and Shinano's analysis.

"..."

"In short, I think the enemy may not be Siren, but a being called 'Ember', or perhaps some other creature."

"Of course, according to the words of Siren leader Observer Zero, many truths can only be answered after the Battle of Solomon. At present, our hostile stance with the Sirens will not change."

Xia Bai spoke a lot and he didn't know whether they understood him or not. Anyway, he was thirsty from talking so he took the cup of water handed to him by the thoughtful Sheffield and drank it all in one gulp.

"You are free to ask any questions now. I will explain everything I know to you."

However, this time the meeting place was completely silent. After learning the news, every ship girl felt that her brain was a little confused.

The same is true for Lian Tiancheng. This Sakura Empire strategist is currently frowning, thinking about how to break the impasse.

"No one wants to ask questions?"

I asked the question again, but the whole audience was still silent and no one stood up to ask questions.

This made Xia Bai feel a little embarrassed. In order to get rid of this atmosphere, he tried to make a joke.

"Then let's ignore all that for now. Now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

This time, Nagato actually responded. Her eyes revealed a bit of solemnity as she said calmly, "Let's hear the good news first. We can't bear the bad news any more."

"What's the point of saying we can't bear it? We are not without a way out..." Xia Bai realized that the atmosphere on the field was a little desperate, so he casually comforted them and continued, "The good news is that there is news about your former flagship Shinano. I already know her whereabouts."

"Perhaps it won't be long before Shinano will reappear in the Sakura Empire."

"Of course, don't be too happy too soon. The bad news is also related to Shinano."

"Observer Zero told me that she was imprisoned in a place called 'Solitary Confinement', where she was guarded by the Supreme Temperance."

As if he was in a bad mood, Xia Bai continued to explain.
